I too have joined. http://pinterest.com/gailetesews/ Wish I had done it sooner! I like the fact that I was getting followers and repinned the first day without advertising it or anything! I've always wanted a place to keep track of ideas, etc. and now I have one!

I forget to log in the past few days. After loosing my time with a site that "drop a bomb" with seller fee. I get little skeptical about sites like Pinterest.

tigercreekgifts, I don't believe people skip you from the cross promotions. It just some people make a lot of noise, but they forget what is the reason of it. I have you in my folder "Fellow eCrater Sellers". I will need to update the bear to tiger.

Not specifically addressed to any one seller, but because the Pinterest boards are personal, and everyone has certain ideas for what they want to show on their site, some stores may not be selling anything that goes with any board someone may have. The only way to use every ecrater seller on a board in some Pinterest users site, is to have a specific ecrater board and that doesn't necessarily go with the theme of their Pinterest site. Most of my boards are sewing, needlework, fashion related, so I wouldn't have any reason to be pinning a store that sells carburetors as an extreme example.

When I listed my site here it wasn't to get others to pin my site, but to let others see what I've done if they wanted to look and if they choose to pin then they could. Same as I have pinned some that sell products that go along with what I pin. My Pinterest boards are to help advertise my store and help me remember great ideas for sewing and needlework crafts. I do apologize if others took it the wrong way. Not sure if that makes sense, but Pin boards aren't in my mind like liking someone on Facebook.
